More About This Tutor...

First teaching job was in a school for severely autistic children. After being there for a year I taught in a residential home for boys. This was challenging but probably one of my favorite jobs as a teacher. Because of the distance from home to work (about 1-1/2 hrs.), I applied at an urban school 20 minutes from my home. My first job there was managing the Young Parents Program. This was a program for high school girls who were pregnant or had already had a child. This program allowed the young girls to attend school. Due to budget restrictions it was cut. I was offered a position as a special education teacher in the high school. I have been doing that for the past 15 years. I taught American History, Geography, World History, Government, English, Reading, Reading Intervention and Wilson Reading. I retired this past June and moved from Connecticut to Asheville.

Certified in Secondary Social Studies Education (7-12)

I have taught history/social studies in Somers, Connecticut for the past eight years. Additionally, I have an extensive background in writing. I have taught students from a variety of backgrounds. My first three years of teaching were at the middle school level, teaching courses in Ancient and World History. Currently I teach at the high school level. I have taught courses in U.S History (early and late), World History, Civics/Government, Current Affairs, and Psychology. However, I am not just a teacher of content, but also writing. My school district continues to place a tremendous amount of emphasis on reading and writing skills. All of my courses emphasize research techniques, essay writing and primary source analysis. Due to my experiences and efforts of motivating, challenging, and encouraging my students, I feel that I could and would be a very helpful, memorable, and eff ... read more

I understand that finding the right tutor can be confusing and time consuming. My specialty is to offer a customized experience to each student. I recently graduated 'Summa Cum Laude' from Eastern CT State University with a BS in Business Administration. My primary experiences has been in with high school and college students tutoring in more difficult subjects such as, Chemistry, Statistics, Physics, Geometry, Calculus, etc. However, I have worked with students of all ages.
My experiences have taught me that a cookie-cutter teaching style is not suitable for every individual. My responsibility is to quickly identify the students weaknesses and turn them into their STRENGTH! I am a every interactive teacher. It is my strong belief that anyone can succeed with the proper motivation, reinforcement and tools. My tutoring style emphasizes the student as an active participan ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I am a recent graduate of Eastern Connecticut State University with a BA in History and Social Sciences and a total GPA of 3.57. This plan of study exposed me to a wide variety of courses aside from history including psychology, English, computer skills, and sociology. Additionally, I have worked for more than 2.5 years as a teacher's aide. I began at LEARN and I currently work for Waterford Public Schools. My most recent position was in the high school; however, this next school year I will be located at Clark Lane Middle School.
I believe that children have different learning styles but they all benefit from positive encouragement from their teachers. I am patient and easy going and I enjoy helping a student reach their fullest potential. It is rewarding for both myself and the child and I feel such positive interactions can make a difference in their learning experience.

Being a mother of three adult children and a new grandmother, I adore children. Teaching Sunday School over many years has also brought me great joy. I also personally relate to a child's individual method of learning because I truly believe we all learn differently. There are no stupid or dumb children, only unique minds. Being patient, kind, and encouraging are only a few of my strengths, and I believe I can help any child reach their potential, even when they do not.
I have two adult children who have had learning disabilities while growing up, and fully understand a parent's frustration in encouraging their child over these particular hurdles. I have a BS in Business Administration and achieved my degree over the period of nine years while working and raising my family. In addition, I have volunteered as a Sunday School teacher over a thirty year period, teaching ages 2-12 ... read more

My love for reading and writing from a young age followed me through high school and college. By excelling in various courses, I had the opportunity to tutor a myriad of subjects in high school (particularly Science and Writing), and serve as a Writing Consultant at Bryant University since Freshman year. Outside of school, I have also assisted my friends and peers who have asked for my help in their individual writing assignments or projects. Having a diverse background in fields such as Finance, Accounting, and Cultural courses, as well as in languages such as Gujarati and Hindi, has given me the opportunity to share my knowledge and skills with others.
I have always felt the need and want to help others, whether educationally or socially. As an immigrant who had to learn a new educational system, language, and lifestyle, I know first-hand how difficult a true and successful lear ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My ultimate aim would be to teach the student how to successfully learn on his own. I would first determine the set of circumstances unique to each student. For example, are they far behind their class or just having problems grasping some concepts? I would modify my teaching style depending on the situation, but in general I identify facts that need to be memorized and concepts that need to be understood. We would work through material, in a textbook, for example. Finally the student must apply logic and related skills (algebra, for example) needed for problem solving. Problem solving ties facts and concepts together and brings a deeper comprehension of and familiarity with the subject.
I have a Bachelors Degree in Geology anda Masters Degree in organic chemistry. I was a teaching assistant in graduate school for both general and organic chemistry. After graduate schooI I work ... read more

I have been in a school environment as my favorite pass time was to spend with children. Math is my favorite course. I helped students achieve good grip on calculations and solving problems. In Short- Teaching kids gives me peace and satisfaction in life.
Math is fun. Teaching math is more fun. I love playing with numbers and helping children also play with numbers and solve problems in the most easiest manner. I really wonder why does the clock move fast when I am in a math class.
